In late 2014 ign made a review on Pokémon omega ruby and alpha sapphire. They praised the game for what it did then in the end gave it an unusually low score of 7.8/10 claiming the problem was “too much water” and “too many Hms” without really addressing it or even give any other criticism.

Thus the 7.8/10 ign “too much water” meme sprouted

I think for gen 7 they rated it 9/10 if I remember right.
